  @cwebbonline I am all for going into gang areas in company strength. Complete with multiple men on overwatch, armored vehicles, drones, cut the electricity and cell service in the area etc. Hire vets. Let some clandestine element of the military plan it.

  @rodiprimes yeah I figured 😭😭 tho what’s funny is that I’ve had no problem adjusting to paladins on pc from getting used to the controls with overwatch

  @tazalotl1981 @NigelMcKinney Most of the time it's not possible to vet people properly, so a stringent overwatch of these people needs to be implemented, if they want to enter they should have no problem giving finger print and DNA samples

  @lavindarr overwatch and genshin community is an expert in making ships that make nosense or have no chemistry between two characters who dont even know each other just to avoid making hetero ships. i wouldnt see any problems if they didnt judge those who dont share the same ships as them

  @ryanscottborman @heatloss1986 @AlexLuck9 Problem with the drone AWACS is that lack of crew, and why we need to risk losing lives. I remember when Global Hawk Block 40 showed up in Afghan. They told everyone they could provide NRT overwatch to convoys/SOF. We at JSTARS were pissed because that was a lie.

  @OWAnonymous_ If you think the leaver issue in Overwatch is bad, go play Halo Infinite sometime. It's ten times worse over there.

  @PotNoodleOW i had my first crash in 8 years of Overwatch as well last week. the process stopped responding & locked my desktop so hard I had to make a new desktop to bring up task manager & kill it.

  @WeirdoRolo @RivalsLeaks I don’t play rivals or similar games like overwatch but there always seems to be balancing errors. Why don’t the devs just do monthly or seasonal community voted nerfs. Seems like that would fix the issues the community had no ?

  is overwatch broken for anyone else?? i just tried playing a comp match, we all had a minor perk unlocked at the start but it didn't work, i got killed and my entire game crashed and every time i try to relaunch and rejoin, it crashes again. @BlizzardCS

  @BbEunjiX @Greenpig117 @chu_ddino for overwatch. you answered your own question. you’re acting like battle net takes up a ton of space or is super inconvenient to launch 💀 i’m not uninstalling and reinstalling the game that works perfectly fine on the platform i’ve played it on for years when it’s a non-issue

  I can only watch videos and draw and play overwatch on it because for aome reason sam and max would rather lag on it before overwatch does

  @Chai_Splat I have a slight input lag on the Switch 2 version of Overwatch 2. Is it only me?

  Dakota Bannigan (@Kitceartas) reported 35 minutes ago

  @BlizzardCS Can I talk to a human about hacking in overwatch two. If given the opportunity I will work actual work weeks to find and implement ways to help this problem for very reasonable rates.

  I need a Reinhardt or any other big buff tank main to play with me in overwatch it would solve my daddy issues

  @CalamariSteven @JoshLavis @Splitgate Overwatch cosmetics carried over to Overwatch 2. It's not unreasonable to think a free to play live service game's entire means of keeping players financially invested in the game should have some carryover when the developer migrates over to a new free to play live service...

  I kind of have a problem where I associate things together by words. A tweet will be like “this is a bad omen” and mentally I’m like “omg omen from overwatch?”. Or someone texts something & I’ll latch on to one word that I remember is in a song lyric and send them the song lyrics

  @_wave00 Nah i think this game has fundamental game design issues, overwatch been catering to casuals for ages and TF2 aint even balanced at all and they got consistent player counts lol

  @BlizzardCS one game of overwatch competitive I'd like to not play a team of all people on new accounts who are smurfing. Literally is a problem yet you guys don't address it. Ruins my experience playing and never can progress even at low ranks of competitive

  @JimSerna1 @StreetFighter I don’t believe so. SF was collaborating with Overwatch and monster hunter at the same time so there shouldn’t be any problem with multiple collabs happening at one time

  Are we as a community gonna take responsibility, when are you the player gonna take accountability? If never then quit ya crying and play the game, if you got a problem with it go play overwatch where you will have the same issue
